Children's Illustration

Maia's children's illustrations are distinct, often mixing magic and innocence with something darker and more atmospheric in single illustrations.

She has illustrated award winning children's books, and her own series of Silent Books (picture books without words) are used in schools around the world to inspire creativity in children. She visits schools in the UK and internationally on a regular basis, to talk about her work.
